A hard past has made this big-hearted man love life.


Haruko, born of mentally unstable parents, lived a childhood of extreme stress. The first child, he was supposed to be the last. As a young boy, he was often on the streets, playing amongst mafia members that were close with his father. He was introduced to weapons and violence very early.

At five, his mother gave birth to another boy, who's name was originally to be Jiro, meaning second son. However, Haruko, a jealous little boy, quickly hated the new baby, and ran away from his parents, who neither cared, nor made any effort to look for the lost little boy. In retaliation to their son's defiance, they named the boy Taro, meaning first son, as their way of disowning Haruko.

Haruko was picked up in the HWANG District by an old mafia member, Joo Seh-Jong, who, by knowing his father knew he was Jin'la's son. When his father would not take Haruko back, Joo took Haruko under his wing, raising him amongst the other mafia members. They taught him how to use sniper weapons successfully, and as a seven year old, he was almost as experienced as some of the twenty-year olds.

Haruko learned fast all the ways of the Korean mafia, including speaking Korean and Chinese, as they worked closely with the Chinese mafia branch. Haruko became a goods runner for the Korean mafia, being involved with drops, and drug runs. He was small and unnoticable, and was suited well for the job.

Soon after he turned eight, he was dropping drugs for the Russian Mafia from the Korean branch, and the Russians, suspecting they were being ripped off, surrounded the drop area and threw a bomb, trying to kill the young Haruko as a warning to the Koreans. However, as smart as he was, he wasn't killed but he lost all his sight in his left eye, and his right eye was badly injured. They were able to heal him significantly, and he restored most of his sight in his right eye. However, he was no longer useful to the mafia. His adopted father, Joo, convinced the mafia lord to keep him around.

When Haruko turned eleven, Joo was able to get Haruko to a doctor who was an expert in revolutionary surgical proceedures. The doctor told them he would be using a proceedure in which he reconstructed the eye using bionic technology that would connect with his brain, and act as an enhanced half-brain for him. Not only would he be able to see again, he would be able to do many other things.

The proceedure, however, was new and untested. The consequences could be lethal.

Haruko decided to do it anyway, and Joo paid for the proceedure to take place--3 million credits--and Haruko signed away his life into the hands of the doctor. The prodceedure took thirteen hours, all of which, Joo spent nervously awaiting the outcome in the waiting room. Haruko's heart stopped once during the proceedure, twelve and half hours into it, and was revived. The sugery was wrapped up soonthereafter, and he was put into the recovery room, where he slept for three days.

The proceedure was a success and Haruko's sight was restored, both his eyes seeing perfectly. The only downside was frequent headaches, and the pigment in his eye was affected, causing his naturally brown eye to turn blue when he used the capabilities of the bionic brain and eye.

For seven years following, he trained to become an assassin for the Korean mafia, Joo being his master through most of the training. During his training, he met Song Ju-hee, the daughter of the Korean Mafia Lord, Kyu Ju-hee. Song was immediately infatuated, constantly making passes at Haruko, who neither reciprocated her feelings, but was having a hard time mustering any sexual feelings at that point at all.

When he rejected her, Song told her father that he had sexually attacked her. Her father flew into a rage and sent his best assassins after Haruko. Joo, who knew of the plot for Haruko's death, put Haruko on his ship, The Jong Rule, and sent him out into space towards a remote planet, telling Haruko to never return to Coruscant. Haruko never heard of the man again.

It was then that he began to develop problems with his bionic eye. It began as violent and graphic dreams and hallucinations. Sometimes his migraines would be too bad for him to even move in the morning. He went downhill fast. Not a year after the first signs were apparent, Haruko had developed a second personality. He only went by Mr. Lawson, and could be set off by the smallest of things, during which time, Haruko often blacked out.

Haruko received medication and for several years he was in and out of business, realizing that he got more money when he allowed Mr. Lawson to do his thing. When he turned twenty-four
